I've just read this thread & I started with Equal Rites, that is the book that got me hooked on Terry Pratchett. Since reading that I did go back to the start & read them in sequence.
I think Nation is a good book to introduce someone to Terry's work.

By the way - Terry has recently stated that he intends bringing Eskarina Smith from Equal Rites back in the next Tiffany book.

I guess he's fed of people asking what became of her.

[Jinx]

Didn't she teach @ UU when she grew up? Or was that wossname?

I shall have to re-read that one now.

Super, I did like that character, she would be a good friend for Tiffany

[Jarmara]

Heh, I either go by the name Jarmara or Esk online. For just a moment there I was confused about why Terry would be writing about me...

Quote from Equal Rites.........Esk & Simon went on to develop a whole new type of magic that no-one could exactly understand but which nevertheless everyone considered very worthwhile & somehow comforting.......... By Terry Pratchett.

That was the end of their story.

Thanks Tiff. I was going to look that out last night, I knew something was said about their future by the end of the book. I wound up working till late on several job applications and going straight to bed afterwords, but I'll maybe read it through again in full this afternoon or over the weekend.

[Tiffany]

You are welcome, Jinx.
Good luck with the job applications.

I have started reading A Hat Full Of Sky again, after listening to Wee Free Men, I haven't got Hat on audio.

I wish I'd read this thread a few days ago. I've just loaned 'Night Watch' as a first book to a teacher friend. Something for her to read over half-term.
I've just started to read all of them in order. Finished COM and just started LF. I just love the discworld dawn, Pterry at his descriptive best!

Juast realised there's a quote option!!! DOH!!

As for what i'd reccomend to start.... well i started with Reaper Man and that got me hooked..... It does give a great introduction to the witt and way of the disc....

But otherwise i would probably reccomend Pyramids or Wyrd Sisters as they are an easy read and again introduce the common charecters well... ;o)
